    I agree, so who did the leaking?
  2. Old Red
    I don’t think other teams rate Duran as highly as you do, and not as high as after the 2024 season.
  3. Old Red
    You are going on the assumption that had the Red Sox had been willing to give Mookie the money, and actually signed him that every thing else would have been done, and turned out the exact same way. I don’t. The Red Sox wouldn’t give Lester the money, but then turned around, and gave Price two times more.
  4. Old Red
    Agree, and that has been mentioned more than once. At least Betts didn’t go to the YANKEES.
  5. Old Red
    And they do over, and over, and over again.
  6. Old Red
    Multiple teams teams need a BUTTERFLY MAN in the OF?🤭
  7. Old Red
    If Betts would have been paid, and stayed in Boston you have NO idea what would have transpired after that. No one does.
  8. Old Red
    Exactly! Maybe no Sale extension.
  9. Old Red
    Once again good point. The Red Sox were 23rd in the league in revenue to payroll right behind Washington no less. Like you said it all depends how you look at it that can form different opinions. Different benchmarks, and different standards form those different opinions, and who’s to say, which one is better.
  10. Old Red
    Either way it’s up to to Brez, and JH.

    If it was 1 year left it would be easier to cut. The Red Sox did pay Atlanta $17M to get $10M relief on Sale, so we’ll see. I think right now the Red Sox are waiting to find out what happens with Bregman, and then go from there there, and if they have to trade for an IF.
  12. Old Red
    Certainly not worth $18M, and never was, but unfortunately gets paid that for the next 2 years.
  13. Old Red
    I know Masa gets dumped on a lot, and he’s overpaid, and only useful as a DH, but he can hit some.
  14. Old Red
    I get all that, but what do you do with 4 outfielders with 3 of them LHB. Supposedly Abreu is going to get more AB against LHP, so we’ll see how that goes. I know rotating through DH as an option, but Masa is still around, and possibly Casas at some point.
  15. Old Red
    I think on here too it’s the speculation that the Red Sox have to trade an OF, because of the roster construction thing.
  16. Old Red
    I thought the original idea for trading Duran last trade deadline, and this year was for starting pitching, or for Martel, which I could see, but I don’t think trading him for CBT relief is even being discussed by the Red Sox unlike on here.
  17. Old Red
    Agree 100% on Breggie. Breggie has been the chosen one if the contract offer out there is true.
  18. Old Red
    Werner’s throttle got stuck.
  19. Old Red
    As I said many times before Brez was the 12th pick in the HOBO draft.
  20. Old Red
    How about packaging Masa, Hicks, and Sandoval that’s always a suggested proposition?🤓
  21. Old Red
    Good points here. The Red Sox used to be one of the big boys, but now the boys are bigger, and there are more of them.
  22. Old Red
    No I don’t think the age matters much, or if all. The guys you mentioned were better pitchers than Sandoval. You keep saying he’s proven he can pitch very well for long stretches, and I just don’t see that at all. Very nice numbers?🤭
  23. Old Red
    He’s not even a Paxton.
  24. Old Red
    To me he’s just another of these special projects the Red Sox like to pay a pitcher to rehab for a year, and hopefully get something out of him the next year $18M, or not. From what I can see he’s been nothing, but a career loser, and not just in a small way. I’m not expecting much to nothing at all from him.
  25. Old Red
    McAdams asked Brez if it was the Red Sox philosophy to make trades instead of signing FA, and Brez kind of said it was without saying it something about not limiting options.
